Pismo may be a good option if you meet the criteria -- Solid intermediate kiter & know how to stay out of the way of others riding the waves. THere are also a fair number of demo opportunities in the BA when the season hits full swing. You may want to hit some of the swaps for a used board until you up your skills & find your style. Swaps are coming up within the next couple of months at Crissy, 3rd Ave & Sherman. Buena suerte.
